This is a quick app that I build for fun to generate random dad jokes. I wanted to work with Axios a bit and icanhazdadjoke.com has a simple API to work with. The app is simple- it will generate a "dad joke" on load and subsequently when pressing the "new joke" button, without re-rendering the page.
Web-ception! I built this site using all of the technologies I love working with most. I wanted to have a fast, responsive website with great functionality and the ability to easily add or change things without having to spend days doing so. The site is built with Next.js, an amazing Node / React framework and for the backend I am using Strapi, an amazing headless CMS, along with PostgreSQL and GraphQL.
This is a work in progress, but I wanted to build this as it has a lot of components. I am building it with Next.js and trying out Tailwind for the CSS. I am also implementing next-auth, which is a cool package that allows for easy authentication / sign-in. I will also be using a movie API to bring in information about different movies and television shows. This is a larger undertaking, but I am excited about it!
